Maybe if I knit with some of my bulkier stash yarns, it'll look like I don't have as much?
Worth a try. It's cold out. The Jawbreaker Cardigan from Interweave Winter '06 might be relatively quick. Here's what I've got so far. This Debbie Bliss Soho was one of the few things that I picked up at Stitches East in Baltimore. Something about this colorway that woos me...

Looking Back, Looking Forward
I'm still in the process of sorting myself out for the New Year.
Eleven months to go, Lord willing, so I had better sort a little faster to make the most of it.
Knitwise, I've got way too many projects that I'd like to tackle in the near future.
As an added distraction, I've picked up spindle and wheel spinning. If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend giving it a whirl. Once you get the hang of it you'll probably find it as soothing as I do.
Last year I finally learned to do cables, but haven't done a project since this dishcloth.

Cashmere!
I've been busy... either finishing up the notorious W.I.P.s or taking a break from knitting.
Had to, just had to post this entry for a spa knitting project of sorts. Wanted to do something luxurious for my birthday last month. This is the type of thing that should accompany a chocolate bubble bath and vino, but dark rosewood needles made do instead.
Behold!
Hand-painted 100% Italian sportweight cashmere. A.L. de Sauveterre's , Estelle in the Cornish Pixie colorway.
The pattern - Eyelet Swirls from Vogue Stitchonary, Vol. I
The scarf is about 33 inches from one 200 yard hank. Not bad. It looks really pretty with a periwinkle blouse and tops off a denim jacket very nicely.

Flashdance!
SABLE revealed!
Hope you enjoy the accompanying arrangement of eye candy and quotes n' themes from some of my favorite films. Feel free to sing along where ever possible. Sing, sing out loud, sing out strong... A'hem, I digress... Let's get this party started...
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor,
And she's stashing like she's never stashed before...

What's a Bill Sled?
Turn six, (turn six)
Turn seven, (turn seven)
Cool Runnings!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Climb every mountain of yarn, Search high and low,
Follow every by-way, Every path you know
Climb every mountain of yarn, Ford every stream,
Follow every rainbow, 'Til you find your dream
A dream that will need, All the love of knitting you can give,
Every day of your life, For as long as you live...
Raindrops on roses
and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings,
These are a few of my favorite things...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To Dye... for Me...
Aslan the Lion
Aslan the Lamb

Sigh, enough stash fantasy. Back to work...
